Activities to round out your sugar shack day

Once your belly is full and your sugar cravings are satisfied, it’s time to get moving! Before heading home, why not make one more stop to make the most of a beautiful spring day?

Looking to turn your traditional sugar shack outing into a true spring getaway? You’ve come to the right place! In Vaudreuil‑Soulanges, spring is about so much more than just maple syrup season.

Here are our suggestions.

Sucrerie de la Montagne + Sentiers de L'escapade + Paradisos Spa

Rigaud

Did you know that the Sentiers de L’escapade, a 27‑km network of hiking trails winding through Mount Rigaud, are directly accessible from Sucrerie de la Montagne? What better way to help digestion after such a feast than a refreshing walk in the woods?

Even better—no need to get back in your car, and access is completely free!

As a bonus, if you’re looking to end the day on a relaxing note, head to Paradisos Spa to unwind in the saunas and hot baths tucked away in the heart of the forest.

Sucrerie Lavigne + Mont Rigaud

Rigaud

Until April 6 (weather permitting), Mont Rigaud’s ski slopes remain open! Treat the whole family to a classic sugar shack outing at Sucrerie Lavigne, then wrap up the day on the slopes. The perfect family combo!

Sucrerie des Gallant + Visit to Hudson

Très-Saint-Rédempteur and Hudson

After a delicious brunch at Sucrerie des Gallant, make your way to Hudson before heading home. Park along Main Road and explore the charming main street of this small town with New England flair. You'll find unique shops, cafés, gourmet food stores, pubs, restaurants, and more—an easy stroll that delights visitors from near and far.

Érablière Saint‑Henri + Microbrasserie Loup‑Garou

Sainte-Marthe

If you’re visiting Érablière Saint‑Henri, we recommend a stop at Microbrasserie Loup‑Garou on your way back. Located on agricultural land, this microbrewery is the perfect spot to keep the conversation going—outdoors by a fire pit, drink in hand. The indoor space is just as welcoming!

You’ll also have the chance to discover their excellent selection of local beers and pick up artisanal butcher products.

Érablière Du Ruisseau + Centre de la nature Quatre Saisons

Coteau-du-Lac

In the mood for a healthy walk after your visit to Érablière Du Ruisseau? We’ve got just the place! Less than a 10‑minute drive away, the Centre de la nature Quatre Saisons offers a network of trails ideal for extending your day with a peaceful forest walk.

Cabane à sucre Marc Besner + Montreal Skeet Club

Coteau-du-Lac and Les Cèdres

Before heading to the Cabane à sucre Marc Besner, how about trying something new? Plan a clay pigeon shooting session at the Montreal Skeet Club with your group! You’ll have plenty to talk about once you’re seated around the table. We bet it’s a sugar shack outing you’ll remember for a long time.
